Fam 1st Family Foundation

Encouraged and empowered youth, particularly those who are underprivileged, in the Bay Area.

Who: Fam 1st Family Foundation

The Story: Founded by NFL players Marshawn Lynch and Josh Johnson, Fam 1st works to build self-esteem and academic learning skills for underprivileged youth. Fam 1st has several sports-related events, including camps and a 7-on-7 tournament, but its reach extends well beyond young athletes.

“We see the positive impact that sports have on our kids. Sports is the ultimate lesson in hard work and discipline. Marshawn and Josh got to where they are because of having mentors and coaches that believed in them.”
– Fam 1st spokesperson
